Indian rupee weakened against dollar in early deals on Monday as the US currency strengthened in overseas markets. Besides, persistent dollar demand from importers and sustained capital outflows by foreign funds also weighed on the rupee. Early gains in stock markets, however, limited the rupee losses against dollar. On the global front, the dollar clawed back some of the ground it had lost against the yen on Monday, after skidding on mixed US employment data that failed to bring much clarity to the timing of the US Federal Reserve's long-awaited interest rate hike. Data from the labour department on Friday showed nonfarm payrolls rose a less-than-expected 173,000 last month, a slowdown from July's upwardly revised gain of 245,000 and the smallest rise in five months. But the unemployment rate dropped to a near 7-1/2-year low and wages accelerated.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 66.73, weaker by 27 paise from its previous close of 66.46 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 66.7950 and 66.57 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 66.40 and for Euro stood at 73.89 on September 4, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.57, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.1941. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
